It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This...

Sunshine in Seattle....ahhhhh. I think we enjoy it and take full advantage of it more than other cities because, clearly, we don't see it as often. And it is true that the sun comes out and so do all the hermits in Seattle. Everyone is out - at the parks, running, walking, eating at restaurants that have outdoor seating, and wearing shorts and going shirtless in 50 degree weather. Seriously.
But really, you can't beat the sun shining on the waterfront, the green grass and trees, and the snow covered mountains in the background.
We've had a few sunshiny days here lately. We took advantage this last weekend and took a walk to the park by our house. Lilah loves to go down slides and swing. Unfortunately she has no fear and thinks she should be in the mix with all the big kids. She does have such a blast though and loves running around, climbing, swinging, and giggling down the slides. That night we ate at the Slip in Kirkland. If you haven't been there, it's a teeny little burger joint that is always packed in the summer. They only have about 6 tables inside and maybe 15 outside. But people love this hot spot mainly for the DELISH burgers. My burger was a peanut butter, bacon burger. I'm actually not pregnant, and I still loved it...heavenly. Lilah got the most buttery and cheesy grilled cheese she has ever got and devoured the entire thing (which is a praise Jesus sort of moment in our family). It was a nice little evening out.
Yesterday was so beautiful again. We went with the King girls to this great little neighborhood park and then again in the afternoon met them for some snacks at a little restaurant with outdoor seating and then headed to another park right on the water. The girls were truly all in their little heavens. They swung, slid down the giant slide, threw rocks in the water, called for the ducks, and saw tons of doggies while being in the sunshine. It was great.
We're having another playdate today with the St. Clair and O'Connor family and will hopefully soak up our last bit of sunshine before the rain comes again. But, we've truly enjoyed it and it just makes me so anxious and super excited for our summertime fun!
